Getting Shots On Galaxy

I don't want to be negative, here, but seeing as how FC Dallas tied the Seattle Sounders 2-2 just two weeks before the LA Galaxy trampled the same team 4-0, we might have cause to be mildly concerned. The Galaxy has definitely proven itself a formidable opponent this regular season, with only two ties sullying a nice stretch of wins. The Hoops? Well, they've seen more ties than wins this go-round. But, that all could change--balls willing--when LA visits Pizza Hut Park Thursday at 7:30 p.m. For non-soccer buffs there for food and moral support, watch for LA's notable Landon Donovan (though, if we're also talking looks and hair, FC Dallas can raise you Bruno Guarda and Brek Shea), and, of course, the Frisbee Dogs at halftime. Damn, those dogs are good. Visit fcdallas.com/tickets for more info.
